    I often took “eat things that would make a billy goat puke” to new levels in the woods.

    Many things are edible but not palatable.

    Love the outcroppings Rick.

    Ha, that’s a good point. I’ve heard that toxin even applies when they’re in their aquatic stage and that’s why some fish leave them alone.

    When we climbed up the ridge we spotted a row of significant rock houses. When I head back to fish there I plan to check them out.
